How do you take your coffee? If you like it light and sweet (like I do), this espresso martini with Baileys will be your go-to when you need a party pick-me-up. This creamy version of the classic (and super popular) espresso martini<\/a> adds Baileys Irish Cream, a liqueur that’s been around since 1974.<\/p>\n Baileys certainly is Irish. Made with Irish whiskey, Irish cream (from some of the best dairies are in Ireland!) and hints of chocolate and vanilla, it adds just the right sweetness, creamy richness and boozy kick to your coffee cocktail. You won’t even need Kahlua or simple syrup\u2014Baileys brings it all to the party. Do you drink an espresso martini with Baileys before or after dinner, or is it a brunch-time drink<\/a>? Yes, to all three.<\/p>\n Fill a shaker three-fourths full with ice.<\/p>\n Add the vodka, Baileys and espresso.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em>\u00a0Make the espresso in advance and chill it in the refrigerator so it’s cold when you make the cocktail. Warm espresso will quickly melt the ice and water down the drink.<\/p>\n Cover and shake until condensation forms on the outside of the shaker, 10 to 15 seconds.<\/p>\n Strain your espresso martini with Baileys into a glass. If desired, garnish with coffee beans.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:\u00a0<\/em>Try a few\u00a0chocolate-covered espresso beans<\/a>\u00a0as a garnish for a luxurious little treat on top!<\/p>\n You want to shake up each espresso martini and serve it immediately. Making each cocktail fresh is key to its flavor and texture, so we recommend storing each ingredient separately until you are ready to serve it.<\/p>\n If you want the best espresso martini, let the ingredients meet for the first time in the shaker. But you can prepare the espresso shots in advance and refrigerate your Baileys so it’s nice and cold.<\/p>\n The best cocktail glasses<\/a> for espresso martinis are the old-school triangle martini glasses. If you want to serve this on the rocks, a double old-fashioned would be a lovely option.<\/p>\n You will get a pretty frothy top if you give espresso martinis a long, hard shake, use super-cold ice and pour it into a pre-chilled glass. You can get a really<\/em> creamy finish with bar tools<\/a> like a handheld milk frother, which you can use to aerate (mix while adding air) your ingredients in your shaker before adding ice. Shake long and hard before straining your drink through a Hawthorne strainer in the mouth of the shaker and then through a fine mesh sieve. This allows the creamy foam to rise to the top. Once settled, the foam will be thick enough to hold the coffee beans.<\/p>\n This cocktail holds the honor of being a fantastic first drink of the day at brunch and also a notable nightcap after dinner. It pairs well with everything from breakfast casserole recipes<\/a> to strawberry crepes<\/a> in the morning to a deep, dark, flourless chocolate cake<\/a> or a lemon dream cheesecake<\/a> after midnight.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The creamy and sweet espresso martini with Baileys features vodka, Irish cream and espresso.
